Work In Process Tracking System
A prominent company in sanitary wares and faucets industry faced several challenges in their day-to-day operations. These challenges were impeding efficiency, causing financial losses, and impacting customer satisfaction. As the business continued to experience year-over-year growth, the need for heightened efficiency and unwavering quality became the priority to uphold the brand’s reputation, particularly known for its distinctive style and extensive consumer network. Even a marginal increase in production capacity posed a significant risk, as it could potentially result in simultaneous quality lapses and operational errors, both in dispatch and production.
It became abundantly clear that a system was essential to streamline and manage the intricacies of the extensive production, inventory, and dispatch processes. The main objective was not merely to minimize errors in production relative to bookings but also to establish a comprehensive system capable of meticulously tracking and tracing the complete lineage of any product, from its inception to its successful installation. And this what exactly Raj Barcode’s Work in progress tracing system provided them complete tracking and tracing from its inception to successful installation.
